3:21 AM - iPad:Two Great ways to stay connected

How can you make your ipad stay on line? You maybe know how to surf internet with your ipad, but it has some limits, perhaps most of us use built-in Wi-Fi, what problem do you get? Do you notice that you can't connect the internet at some place? Or when you are out of Wi-Fi hotspots? Or it just freeze when you watch videos or whatever else? When that happens, how do you feel? What do you want to do? I gotta say, it sucks, but apple inc. always can figure it out. Of course, Wi-Fi is powerful, but sometimes you need another way to stay connected.

All iPad models come with built-in Wi-Fi. If you want to access the Internet in more places, choose iPad with Wi-Fi + 3G and sign up for 3G data service from AT&T or Verizon - right on your iPad. Wi-Fi or Wi-Fi + 3G.
Two Great ways to stay connected

Which iPad should you choose?

iPad with Wi-Fi is ideal if you have a wireless high-speed Internet router in your home, or if you'll be using your iPad near a wireless hotspot - in a coffee shop or school library, for example.

iPad with Wi-Fi + 3G includes Wi-Fi connectivity as well as 3G connectivity. 3G uses cellular signals - the same signals your cell phone uses - to connect to the Internet. Choose an iPad with Wi-Fi + 3G if you'll be spending time in places without Wi-Fi hotspots, such as outdoors or on your morning commute.
Two Great ways to stay connected

 

Tip: chose your ipad by carrier.

If you decide on an iPad with Wi-Fi + 3G, be sure to select the model that corresponds with the carrier you'd like to use for 3G service. The iPad model you purchase is specially configured to work with either AT&T or Verizon - not both. So while you don't have to activate 3G service right away, you should choose your iPad with Wi-Fi + 3G according to the carrier you prefer.

When you decide to activate 3G data service, you can choose the amount of data per month you want to buy - with no long-term contract. So if you have a business trip or vacation approaching, just sign up for the month you'll be traveling and cancel when you get back.

What you gonna do:

1. Sign up.
Tap Settings and choose Cellular Data. Then select a plan and enter your payment information.

2. Check your usage.
iPad lets you know when you're about to reach your data limit so you can add more.

3. Adjust your plan
If you want more data, you can sign up for a different plan - or cancel 3G data service altogether - anytime, right from your iPad.

Two Great ways to stay connected

Which Ipad do you decide to chose, depends on your own condition.

And maybe sometimes you don't want to stay connected, and there is no need to do that, but you still want to watch videos or ibooks with your ipad when you are boring, then you may need an ipad video converter, and what do you know about these operations of ipad: how to manage application icons on ipad? how to sync itouch videos to ipad?

3:40 AM - Big Hello to Facetime for iPad

Facetime - once again, ipad gets the world talking. As long as you and your family or friends or boyfriend or whoever get ipad2, you can see each other at any times. The video call can keep smooth all the way, you don't have to worry about that it will freeze at half way, and you or the one who at other side just freeze there with a big face or a hilarious expression.

For faraway friends and family, long-distance relationships, or just for fun, FaceTime for iPad is here. With a tap, you can make video calls from your iPad 2 to someone else's iPad 2, iPhone 4, new iPod touch, or Mac over Wi-Fi. And be there in person, even when you're not.

A Big Hello to Facetime for iPad

The biggest way to say hello.

So long "Long time no see." Because whether you're across the house, across town, across the country, or in a different country altogether, iPad is the next best place to see your favorite face - talking, smiling, and laughing back at you. With a tap, you'll find yourself in the middle of anything you don't want to miss. Big things like birthdays, anniversaries, first steps, or holiday dinners. Smaller things like breakfast, homework, dog tricks, or bedtime stories. Just when you start missing someone (or something), drop in, catch up, and hang out as long as you want. Or just show up to say (and see) goodnight.

Tap, talk, smile, and wave.

Let's say you want to start a video call with your best friend. Just find her name in your Favorites list and tap the FaceTime button. An invitation pops up on her iPad, iPhone, iPod touch, or Mac asking if she wants to join you. When she accepts, the FaceTime call begins. Up pops her face - right in front of yours and nearly life-size - on the big iPad display. All you need is an Apple ID and an email address and you're good to go. It's even easier than picking up the phone.

A Big Hello to Facetime for iPad

Two cameras. One for them. One for you.

iPad has two built-in cameras, one on the front above the display and one on the back. You can switch between them anytime during a call. The front camera faces you, for saying hello. The back camera faces what's in front of you, for showing off where you are, who you're with, or what you just splurged on at the mall. And if something funny happens on your end, your friend can see it, too.

When you want to see someone who be far away from you or want to show your friend two cute tortoises just you just buy, pick up your ipad, and all done. I have to say nothing is impossible in this world now, with high technology, we can do anything that we wanna do. I mean, who can imagine that we can talk to the whole world just with a little gadget, but look around, we are all "apple" or maybe "Huawei".

5:20 AM - Dariy of a Wimpy kid

Have you watched the comedy-《Diary of a Wimpy Kid》? I bet most movie fans will say "it's historical", not that exaggerate, but it makes sense, after all ,that movie has been released for a long time, not mention , and as you know it's a series that based on the novel written by Jeff Kinney. I think the third an fourth one will be released soon, and I have more passion to look forward it than . I just think these kids in the movie are just so funny, and I can't wait sharing it with you guys.


external image images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQ0EzRxU19lw_uPH8K5cIZAFRtujcIO9F5R8gp5TJaSLuaLFFkf


It's an alternative dairy including comic、scrawl and textual description. Gray is a junior high school boy. He is kind, honest, intelligent, playful and full of tricks. His mother lets him keep a diary, apart from a lot interesting or memorable things, he also draws many cartoons. In the diary, Gray describes how to manage his high school life which is full of adventure, and how to escape the school singing competitions, and the most important thing is how to prevent any person knowing his secret.

He and his best friend Ronnie are kind of geeks in their school, generally they are the one who be paid attention more than others (but not the good side), cos others always have problem with them, especially those soccer players (why they always be the bad guy in the movie, it freaks me out, you know, laugh at other students that weaker than them, or even play tricks on them). More than that, school is not the only thing that Gary has to deal with, also his big brother just won't let him go, once he get the chance to tease Gary, he'll take advantage of it exhaustively. And his little brother, Gary is the one who have to look after him when their parents are busy, if something happens to that little rascal, it's definitely Gary' fault, even it's not.


external image images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTEn_SWFbfWWfI6I3VmlCwN7v9mYFK-n-bcK0duUEA82ix57G8e


And there more hilarious details about that movie, after you watching it, you'll know. Just a few days ago, I watched it on my ipad (not buy it , just convert it to MP4 with ipad converter suite) when I was in a bus, and I can't help laughing loudly, you can imagine how embarrassing I was.


external image 2010032213551764546922.jpg


If you want to watch your favorite movies on your ipad, you may want to know:

  • H.264 video up to 720p, 30 frames per second;

  • MPEG-4 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second;

  • Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to 35 Mbps, 1280 by 720 pixels, 30 frames per second.

These format means what video ipad can support, we can see that most format can't be supported by ipad/ipod, so if we want to watch some video is DivX, XviD, MOV, rm, rmvb, MPEG, WMV, AVI etc, we need a converter. For mac users,

ipad converter for mac

is suitable.

10:38 PM - The Eagle of the Ninth

Maybe I think too much, a lot of movies that have been released recently express a same feeling, no actress, even has, but not important as men, just two men or more, like friends, but more than friends, like <The Eagle of the Ninth>、<Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows> and <Blitz> yada yada yada. It's very amphibolous between two actors, especially <The Eagle of the Ninth>, you can see the novel or watch the movie, then you'll know what I'm saying.

The story takes place in AD 140 in Britain ruled buy the Roman Empire, which is exactly Scotland where is McDonald's (director) hometown. Film was adapted from Turk Reef's historical novel by Jerry Locke ("Brideshead Revisited"), and 29-year-old actor Channing Tatum ("special forces") is the protagonist who is a Roman general named Marcus Aquila leading hundreds of people. Due to the Celtic's attack, Marcus was seriously injured and lost his army and status. Marcus decided to atone desperately, headed up to the north of Scotland, where is deserted to find the lost Ninth Legion Eagle. Fifteen years ago, the Ninth Legion which was led by his father (Donald Sutherland) somehow missed.

The novel was written by Turk Reef and published in 1954. The novel was sold millions of copies in the decades around the world, and was adapted into a 6 sets mini-TV series by BBC in 1977. The film remake right of the novel was sold in 1998, but has begun to formally enter the remake stage recently. The story background is exited in the real history, that is the ninth legion's  mysterious missing of the Roman Empire in AD 120. The film's main character is named Marcus Aquila. Aquila means "Eagle" in Latin, which is the film's English title "The Eagle".

During this period, Marcus accidentally rescued a slave named Escobar in the arena, and kept him as a servant. Marcus heard someone at a tribe in the north had seen the eagle that his father lost, he was very excited and determined to find the eagle and got it back, aimed to restore honor of his family in the empire. And Escobar happened to born in Britain and was familiar with local environment, so Marcus decided to take him. Along the way, the relationship between Marx and Escobar was changed from the master and servant into a friendship, which has been through the text of betrayal and loyalty, especially in the face of tribal leaders, at that time, they just have each other and count on each other.

Escobar was pushed by his opponent to the sidelines in arena, Marcus was sitting there there and staring at him, directly and intimately, as if they were the only one in the entire arena, and then ignoring the atmosphere in the arena, Marcus put up his finger and saved Escobar, that their first met. And as I said, they became best friends and more closed.


Produced very well, but the story is humdrum, just to retrieve the honor.
- "Hollywood Reporter"
The film suggests a number of strange weird things, such as exaggerating gay masculinity (huh, that's funny, perhaps it just respects the original work)
- "New York Times"

If you watch original work, you'll find out the friendship between them is ambiguous, and that maybe the reason that the novel is magnificent, the film makes lots of money. Is that attracted to you? After all, it's kind of big-budget production, even that two handsome actors are not proper to that type of movie. Anyway, you can watch it on your ipad when you are boring on the metro, figure out how to watch video on ipad with a dvd to ipad ripper, then you can pass your time.

11:01 PM - iPhone5 with 3D technology?

3D application on a mobile phone technology is becoming a popular in 2011, lots of manufactures including Sharp, LG, HTC have released smart phones that based on 3D technology, and recently, according to foreign media reports, an new patent of Apple shows Apple is considering to add a camera with 3D shooting function for iPhone5.

According to AppleInsider web site(foreign media) reports, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office found the Apple patent application program called "Systems and Methods for an Imaging System Using Multiple Image Sensors". According to description, this application system can capture 、 process and render 3D images through the corresponding two-camera hardware.

Considering a number of competitors in the field of 3D applications have tested this frequently, I believe Apple who always be willing to innovate and improve user' experience will launch mobile phone based on 3D, and if long-awaited iPhone 5 will integrate into this technology, we need to wait a long time to uncover the answer.

A revolutionary breakthrough has occurred in phone session, especially the rise of dual-core mobile phone, let us appreciate how powerful mobile hardware is. At this time, lots of high-tech fans are looking forward to the new productions, which obviously the iPhone5 attracts the attention of most people. For various reasons, the delay release of iPhone5 disappoints a lot of people, but also let us have more we can more expectations to the unexpected mobile phone market. In addition, Nokia and Microsoft have begun to make their effort to introduce several new heavyweight productions next.

Precisely, the fifth-generation Apple iPhone series are not necessarily called "iPhone 5″, may also be called "iPhone4G" or "iPhone4GS", all the current news is just guess, according to the foreign media and insider that "Apple iPhone5″ will be listed in mid-September. Price is still a mystery, but based on past experience, the initial listing price of iPhone5 must be a shock.

Compared to the previous generation iPhone4, iPhone5 still has a big change in appearance. According to first picture exposured before, the screen size increases to 4 inches, and the screen frame significantly reduced, it looks like just a screen at first glance.

In hardware, the upgrade is essential. The fifth generation of products may be equipped with 8 million pixel camera which is much better than four generations of 500W. In addition, this phone may support the 4G network and the dual-core processor, which allowing users to have more perfect experience.

Since 2007, after introducing the first generation of products, Apple launches a type of mobile phone every year, with its perfect operating experience as well as many fun applications, have won the majority of users' acceptance, this is an important reason that people look forward to the fifth generation. Untill now Apple hasn't announced a specific release time of iPhone5, so users can only wait for it patiently.

Not just iPhone5, the rumors about apple inc. will release ipad3 this year has already been spread all over the world, no matter what we think or expect, Apple inc. is the one who decide everything, so let's just wait.

6:10 AM - New Medical Drama-Sirens

I have been watching American TV play series for a long time, the first one I finished is , (it arouses my crazy interest in science fiction), and , I hate the one who cut it, I mean maybe its audience rating has a decline after four season, however as a big fun, I was upset for it in a long time. Actually, when I was in high school, those dramas were very far from me, I barely heard any American opera soap, the first one I heard is , I bet most classmates of my are the same with me who has our own classical TV shows. Be honest, what my friends talked about at that time was not the story of but how gorgeous Wentworth Miller is. For some reason, now I have a big crush in those dramas, just one after another, I definitely become a total "no other show" person.

Recently Channel 4(UK) has released a new hospital comedy show -, a team of world-weary paramedics are forced to confront the dregs of society - not to mention their own inadequacies - in this comedy drama. Body is covered with someone else's body fluids, as ambulance care workers, three protagonists get through the night by fighting, quarrelling and sex etc. They have been saving other's life all the time, but can they save themselves? Executive producer Hal Vogel said: "Our goal is to produce a black comedy, discuss human living conditions from the perspective of three completely original, funny, cute care workers.

Generally, we think Americans are the one who can do anything in the show (no offence), it turns out that British show is more open someway. Like this line: you can drive this car as you stolen it. The capitalist Big Brother has one-upmanship in any aspect. (If you are busy, figure out how to copy dvd to ipad then you can enjoy the show anytime, no matter where you are on the bus or closestool, you may know the drawbacks about iPad, if we want to watch other format videos except MP4 etc on ipad, video to ipad converter is essential, just in case you guys have some question about it).

The first scene is Stuart doing chest massage for a woman who hurt badly in a car accident, the scene is kind of bloody, feel excited, huh huh? Cos it is a British drama, so the lines are full of British humour, very witty. Protagonists are three young lads, Rachid, Stuart and Ashley, dealing with the wounded who struggle with death every day. I kinda like the subject matter, it is similar to the medical drama but more intense and has faster plot development.

Stuart is reckless but the leader in three, in emergency he is the one who stay in calm and do the right choice, Ashley is the cutes, don't argue with, he definitely is, and he is gay, I just hope the producer can arrange a cute guy to Ash. Rachid is an Iranian, a bit stiff. There is a policewoman named Maxine, and she has some ambiguous relation with Stuart, although she always dressed as a tomboy, but she was eager to love. In fact, she is beautiful, blond, fair-skinned. Be honest, that's not who I pay attention, Ash is my favorte, he is so cute.

Anyway, it has great level, perfect (forgive me, I just love it) in aspect of actor, story, humor, especially the music. In addition, the show's center of gravity is not in the first aid, the medical part only has 30% percent or less. The focus is still about the lives of several characters, about love and friendship. The first season has over, all six episodes. Let's look forward to the following season, hope the team won't disappoint us.

5:52 AM - How Vulnerable is Apple

For the protection of customers, Apple does not disclose, discuss, or confirm security issues until a full investigation has occurred and any necessary patches or releases are available. It seems like that Apple get seriously about security, that's a assurance for apple production users. Yet, problems always will occur.



Like the following cases, after these, can we still trust what they say? Especially for those business users, there is a serious risk existing.

The Anonymous hacker group Claimed Sunday that it had stolen a small number of internal passwords and user names from an Apple server. But as if that's is an uncertified announcement, which means no one can say it's truth or just made up by someone.

Let's continue, Anonymous claimed responsibility for the attack. It is reportedly working closely with hackers who belonged to Lulz Sec, the hacking group that said it was disbanding last week after 50 days of hacker havoc that included hacking sites such as PBS.org (Why they hack that?). The breach at Apple exposed 27 internal Apple usernames and passwords. As Apple users, what do we supposed to do? Nothing, just wait for apple to fix that, no matter what's the result, Apple productions are still our favorite(or not?).

On Twitter (I have a love-hate feeling to it), Anonymous said Apple could become a target (why is sound like a terrorist to me?), but for now the members were busy with other hacking targets. "Apple could be target, too. But don't worry, we are busy elsewhere," the group said (they are really busy). Earlier this month, Lulz Sec claimed it had breached Apple's iCloud servers, which operate the company's cloud music and photo service. But the group posted no evidence of the hack (that's what I'm saying, no evidence).



And another thing, as enterprise adoption rates for the iPad skyrocket, Apple has been forced to adjust its security thinking to placate its new business customers.

Just one problem: Employees won't be able to send encrypted email from their iPads, at least not yet. Blame Apple for an iPad email encryption capability that literally goes only halfway -- that is, to iPads but not from them. Apple says full email encryption will be coming in iOS 5, but in the meantime, users are stuck with a semi-solution.

"Symantec told us the problem is with Apple, they can't get the right interfaces into iOS," explains Wolfgang Krips, senior vice president of global IT infrastructure services at SAP. "It's not a deal killer but very serious, very frustrating." So goes the love-hate relationship CIOs have with Apple. Now the stakes are higher with iPads invading the enterprise at a meteoric rate. To be fair, Apple has responded recently to security concerns about its iOS. But does the company's newfound interest in enterprise security go far enough?


The attacks on Macs and Apple's response to them have stirred up new controversy in an ancient debate. Is OS X uniquely well protected from cybercrooks? As its market share increases, will it become a more enticing target? Are Mac users who don't use security software asking for trouble? Etc. Anyway, Apple knows its weakness and it is the first target for those hackers, what we can do is wait.(That's the reason I keep a distance with those high-tech stuff, not forbid, just have a limitation, or I just use some safe, easy functions like how to play quicktime video on ipad or how to convert mts to ipad on mac, just joking, if that's true…anyway it's not true)

6:00 AM - Fariy Tale Movie-Beastly

I'm addicted to this movie is not because Alex Pettyfer, nope, not at all, you can see it from the icon of my profile, ok, he is definitely the reason that I'm here to express my excitement and recommend you guys to see it right now, besides, the story is attractive too.





Kyle (Alex Pettyfer, who else could be) is a seventeen-student who is sexy, rich, with everything other students always dream of, but under his gorgeous exterior there is a cruel nature hidden inside. Kyle likes to humiliate students who be called "freaks", and his followers always fan the flames. This time, he targeted a Gothic girl Kendra who is sorta of witch. Kendra turned him into a monster with a spell for revenging, and the only way to break the curse for Kyle is to fine a girl who really loves him within a year. Even Kyle's father can not accept his ugly son, so he deserts him in an apartment in Brooklyn, only sent a butler and a blind teacher as his companies. While Kyle is struggling to break the curse, accidentally he bumped into a drug addict killed a drug dealer, Kyle promised not to inform the killer and generously provide protection for his daughter Linda (Vanessa Hudgens), the premise is she's willing to live up to his apartment. In this way, the journey that looking for true love is beginning.



Actually, seeing this type of adaptation of modern version of fairy tales, we don't have to take it too seriously, the story has long been clear in our mind, it means from start, we can know the ending, these traditional story has fixed routines, so it's very difficult to have some creation, and its audience must be young girls and boys, so if you know you do not like seafood, but insisting to have a taste, turns out that the film is not your taste, then it's not other people's fault. (If you are busy, figure out how to

dvd to ipad ripper

is essential, just in case you guys have some question about it).





I believe most teenagers who like watching Disney cartoons chose to watch this film, because they have some fairy-tale plot in their heart, and the pink dream that never broke up. Even the reality is flat and rough, they are willing to believe in love, believe there always someone is waiting for you somewhere.



Russell once said: "The essence of romantic love is regarding the one who you love as a very precious thing and extremely difficult to get, people need a tremendous effort to win the love from who you love!" "The Beast" in the film grows to a kind considerate person who knows how to care after others, who knows to respect other people from a selfish and arrogant person. We have to admit that is love make him who he is. From simply and frivolous buying some famous-brand products to please the girl who he likes to start know her who she really is and eventually win the love of the girl with a genuine and sincere heart, simultaneously break the curse, then we all know, happy ending.





If you expect some magnificent or great things from this movie, maybe you'll be dispointed,but if you have a pure love in your heart, you should see it.

10:56 PM - Torchwood:the Miracle Day

Caption Jack has been back in July, Torchwood has released the fourth season - The Miracle Day, by now, we can enjoy eight episodes or more, I'm not sure.

"Torchwood" is a sci-fi TV series created by Russell Davis and John Barrowman and Eve Myles act the leading roles. It describes a fictional story about torchwood Academy third division in Cardiff. The main task of Torchwood Research Institute is to research supernatural and extraterrestrial. As derivative drama of "Doctor Who" which is British science fiction television series that has longevity, there is a closely relation between these two dramas.

The first season had 13 episodes, already broadcasted on BBC3 in October 2006, and the second season also had 13 episodes which were broadcast on BBC2 in January 2008. And the third season was a mini-drama has 5 episodes, each episode was an hour, was broadcast in July 2009 in a week.

But there is a prominent difference between two shows, because the "Torchwood" is broadcast after 9:00 pm, so compared to "Doctor Who", it contains more adult content. Davis said "Doctor Who" is not allowed to involve any adult-oriented ideas in an interview of BBC Wales Radio. In the first season, we can see many scenes that never will be seen in "Doctor Who", including the sex scene (in "Day One" and "Out of Time" in), and similar to that appeared in many episodes. BBC3 thinks that "Torchwood" is the most shining series in fall of 2006. John said that "in the first season I do not have any naked scene, they said there would be in the second season, I do not mind naked as long as they pay me the right money, I am ready to show off my"….you know what he means, huh huh.

The fourth season "Torchwood- the Miracle Day" is broadcast in Starz. From the BBC to Starz, from Cardiff to the United States, "Torchwood" has new integration, there are new stories be told, and new characters debuted, as well as new enemies destruct the calm and peaceful life of human beings. …To me, John Barrowman is always my idol, he is the reason I back to season4, but after seeing 8 episodes, I find the story is more attractive.

Suddenly one day, humans stop dying. The whole world, no one dies. But people are still very fragile and can be hurt or get sick, but they can't die. This phenomenon causes a merited result: the number of people is bursting. Population is growing, but resources are limited. It is said that in the next four months, the human will grow to the limit, the entire planet will overload. But this "Miracle Day" can never be a natural phenomenon, it must be a very sinister conspiracy. Rex Matheson, a CIA agent, begins to investigate this global conspiracy, he races against time, and the answer relates to a very old institution Torchwood of UK. Rex has been keeping asking, "What is Torchwood?" He was involved in the vortex of this conspiracy, and he got hurt, too, but of course, he was still alive, becoming one of those walking dead.

5:36 AM - Final Destination5

Final destination5 is the fifth work of famous American horror series film "Final Destination" produced by New Line, like previous works, still filmed with format 3D film. And this time, "Death to the 5" about a group of colleagues in the field to participate in outreach activities death appears on the suspension bridge, let's see how those one who ain't killed in the collapsed accident will die with incredible ways.



Final Destination5 has a more luxurious team, directed by Steven Quale, he had been assistant director in the super classical films Titanic and Avatar in earlier time. And Craig Perry, the producer of previous four works has returned. He had also produced "American Pie" series (the classic of classic). Eric Heisserer, who creates story for "New Nightmare on Elm Street" writes story for this one, too.

The bombing of aircraft in the outcome has closely connection with Final destination1, so you can say it is the beginning also is the perfect end, anyway, you'll understand what I'm saying if you have watched the series. I'm not gonna say how wonderful the series is, it just the ways that those people die, I mean, really incredible, maybe this is the point that it attracts so many people, these ideas are so creative. I bet Final Destination series just try to tell us we can't escape from the fate, obediently accept our fate, struggle will only make you more painful. And the movie won't stop to prove that there are many ways to die, something you can't guess or imagine.



The first work of this series dated back to 2000, this small-budget film became a classic of CULT after releasing. But someone says this type film is hard to have much new ideas, 3D can only make up its drawbacks at a moment. Invisible death is more horrible than visible killer, which is a selling point of this series, but unfortunately in the fifth, those scenes are neither bloody nor surprising, is kind of funny. It should be said "to kill a scapegoat" is an innovative setting up, it can be regarded as a resistance to death, but the director did not carry out in the end. Scenes of the bridge collapse at beginning can be comparable with 2012 or something in special efficiency, and the plot is quite compact, but following plot, how those survivors die is kind of dilatory. The final death of actor and actress is a tribute from producers, make the entire story to a circle, finally gives a destination to death.



New Line chose Nicholas D'Agosto who is Claire' boyfriend in NBC sci-fi drama Hero, and many familiar faces we have seen in other dramas, like Gossip Girl, Mad Men, Flash Forward, Emergence Room, Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy etc. Maybe we are guessing if there be Final Destination6,7 or more, I mean this is how they planning, like Pirates of the Caribbean, Twilight, Horry Potter or something like that, anyway, enjoy this time and look forward next? Yet, watch it on your tablet with some friends may be more excited, I mean screaming together or something, so figure out how to rip dvd to ipad with a ipad converter for mac, then you can kill your time.

6:48 AM - Those Clash Between Apple and Sumsung

Just a few days ago, there was a big fight about patent dispute between Apple and Samsung in Australia, the most miserable sufferers must be enthusiastic fans of Android. Australia's Android fans should have been through a very depressed time, because this patent dispute, the Galaxy Tab 10.1 from Samsung Tablet PC can't advertise and sale in their country at that time, they just waited Samsung to get the permission of the court and that lawsuit ended. Previously, Apple claimed that the Tablet PC Android of U.S. version violated 10 patents of company. While the lawyers from Samsung argued the Galaxy Tab 10.1 Tablet PC sold in Australia wasn't same with American version, so Apple should not prosecute the patent issues of Australian version according to American version, by mutual agreement, the Samsung agreed to send this product to Apple to confirm whether it infringed the patent of Apple or not at least 7 days before releasing it.

Then Samsung denied the suspension of Samsung Galaxy Tab's releasing in Australia and announced they would release it as the original plan. According to the news that Ausdroid got from Samsung, the agreement that reached between Samsung and Apple was only for American version which had patent dispute, and Australian version was not same as American version, thus avoiding the problem of paten infringing In addition, although Apple prosecuted Samsung because these patent disputes to the central court of Australia, but they just reached an agreement as a solution, and Samsung had also not received an injunction from Australia's central court, so it seems like that agreement had no influence to the sales of smart phones and tablet PCs of Samsung in Australia and other countries. But now,

You have to admit, Samsung is really kicked by Apple. After defeated by Apple in Netherlands about the patent, Samsung once again announced they won't sell Galaxy Tab 10.1 in Australia before September 30. Even Samsung promised they would send the samples to Apple before launching it, and then did as promised, but Apple's lawyers insisted Galaxy Tab 10.1 infringed their patent. Facing aggressive Apple, Samsung is also planning a counter-strategy. This South Korean electronics giant will charge to the Court that the patent of Australia Apple is invalid, and even turn against Apple that they infringement Samsung's patent in iPhone and iPad. The next hearing will be staged in September 26th and 29th, I believe it will be very dramatic.

Except Australia and Netherlands, the district court in Dusseldorf, Germany granted Apple a preliminary injunction to against Samsung selling its latest 10.1-inch Android tablet in the entire European market. In fact, it's not because this court have any privileges, it's just Apple register the trademark design right for iPad, so this injunction can affect the entire Europe is not a strange thing.

No matter what the result is, the one who hurt definitely is Samsung. It seems like Apple has a great ambition to occupy entire Tablet market, TouchPad can't return back to life, and Galaxy Tab is under a big pressure because Apple, so the following Amazon, what's its future?

4:01 AM - He Changed the World Time after Time

The buttons are everywhere, plastic shell, Windows operating system, and the ugly shape that can let people be crash, you guys probably don't know what I'm talking about, ok, the Tablet PC before iPad appears, that's what I'm talking about, can you believe this is Tablet PC for normal people? However, the previous "Tablet PC", or more clearly, before the launch of iPad, that's what they look like, People always have question about what Jobs said, "Once again, change everything". If Apple did not release iPad, we won't know what Tablet PC would looks like nowadays. But history has no assume, all of the facts that have happened just prove a truth - although Jobs is ruthless, stubborn extremely and has a not very good character, but he has changed the world again and again.

Steve Jobs has special insights on the industrial design insights and meticulous work attitude, we can see his influence to way of life in 21st century from 313 patent invention he involved. In addition to manage daily operations of Apple, Jobs also plays an important role in development process of many products, from Macintosh computer to iPod, iPhone and iPad. Among Apple's patent portfolio, Steve Jobs is the main inventor or co-inventor of 313 patents. In contrast, Bill Gates, the Microsoft co-founder only listed as the inventor of nine patents, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, the Google co-founders only described as "a dozen." Specifically, Steve Jobs is listed in the first position of 33 patents, which means he plays a very important role. The most patens he takes part are related to shape and feeling of products. There are over 200 patents developed by Jobs and Jonathan Ivy who is Apple's design chief. Except that, some patents that Steve Jobs involved are related to technical details like software algorithms and computer chips etc. Now he resigned from Apple, his fans make lots of funny pics to show their love to him.

Maybe want to challenge marvelous Jobs and his Apple team, there always some hackers keep show up and prove they are better than technical team of Apple. According to the Science and Technology Information Station PCWorld reported that two Linux enthusiasts have successfully crack iPad, and implanted Linux along with the Android system to iPad, so who can say there is no jailbreak tools to use after Comex have been hired by Apple? More and more professionals begin to challenge iOS.

These two Linux enthusiasts are Patrick Wildt and Rick Taylor, they produce an iDroid, it can break iOS and allow Linux ran in iPad / iPhone / iTouch 4. Although there is no much information about jailbreak details, but Linux can be ran on iOS, that is exciting news anyway, because Apple's built-in A4-chip device is to prevent implanting other systems. According to the description of iJailbreak, after iPhone 3G, jailbreak iOS become more difficult, so that two techniques hackers do have extraordinary talent.

Two hackers will release more details about iDroid later, but now Patrick and his companion are experimenting with how to implant Linux in iPad 2, it has been proved a bit difficult (just like the process break iPad 2 in early time). However, with new crack technology, we expect to see the iPad with Linux.

2:51 AM - Amazon Kindle Tablet with Low Price

The iPad is the world leader in tablets, but Amazon is reportedly nearing launch of its new tablet. Someone has got Amazon tablet, and revealed some information about its hardware and software. In hardware, Kindle Tablet is equipped with a 7-inch full-color touch screen, single-core processor, and the built-in storage space is only 6GB. And there is no physical button in front panel, no camera, the back cover design is similar with BlackBerry PlayBook. In software, Kindle Tablet's operating system is Android of the old version of (even earlier than 2.2). And it doesn't come with any Google applications, all applications need to be downloaded by Amazon appstore. This 7-inch tablet will be on sale in October, the price is only $ 250. Meanwhile, Amazon will launch 10-inch version next year. The lower price is in the attempt to come out strong in competing with Apple's iPad.

Apple's iPad is the global tablet leader, though the fire sale $99 TouchPad made a brief appearance on the sales radar, but the biggest threat to the industry leader is on its way as Amazon is reportedly close to shipping a new tablet - its first. The Taiwan tech newspaper quoted sources at component suppliers saying Amazon's first tablet verision, a 7-inch unit, is being manufactured by Quanta Computer, and that it will begin shipping in October, in time for holiday sales.

Amazon is expected to price its new tablet lower than Apple's iPad, particularly in light of the TouchPad's success during the $99 fire sale after HP discontinued the product. Amazon isn't likely to dip that low in pricing, but the company could dip below the $300 price piont and find success, some analysts say.

"Even though Amazon taking on Apple is a bit like David taking on Goliath (compare the market cap, profits, and cash position of the two companies), Amazon's willingness to sell hardware at a loss combined with the strength of its brand, content, cloud infrastructure, and commerce assets makes it the only credible iPad competitor in the market," Forrester analyst Sarah Rotman Epps said in a research note. Amazon's Kindle has sold more than any other e-reader device, and the company is likely sell its new tablet at a loss on hardware costs to gain new customers and parlay other profitable services including content, cloud infrastructure and commerce assets to make a credible competitive run at Apple, easily the global tablet leader.

Amazon's new tablets are expected to run on Google's Android operating system. Amazon already has an Android apps store on its online retail site, and if the company's new tablets find success more app developers are expected to jump on board with new Android programs, eventually rivaling the number currently available for Apple's iPad.

Even as the iPad sells tens of millions of units, it's clear there's a hunger for a lower-priced competitor. The HP TouchPad sold out in a couple days last month after the price was dropped from $399 to $99 - a result of HP abandoning the product altogether. So Amazon's lower price and its similar functions with Apple maybe can make a good expect, not just for them and for us who deadly want a cheap Tablet.

3:50 AM - iPad Has Replaced Traditional Textbooks in High School in Some Ways

The new semester has began, while other high school students carrying a heavy bag into school, most high school in America have let their students replace their heavy school bags and books with Apple iPad. No matter electronic textbooks or related materials or online resource, they all can be obtained in iPad. Since Apple iPad has launched iPad in the spring of 2010, this Tablet PC was welcomed by many universities in American in a short time, and from this autumn, more public schools have joined this queue, abandoning the traditional teaching, utilizing light and powerful iPad.

Compared with traditional textbooks, cost $ 500 to buy an iPad, is a better long-term investment, but those courses that don't have e-learning materials, school still use the traditional textbook. Of course, they have calculated the cost about replace traditional textbooks with iPad, and it's cheaper with iPad. Except for cheaper cost, another reason why iPad is suitable for school is their powerful functions. Some educators believe that iPad has lots of functions that traditional textbooks don't have, like solving mathematical problems with an interactive way, and the convenient scratch pad and bookmarks to take notes, send the test papers and homework to teacher very quickly, and watch videos about historical events to deepen students' impression.

For those special education teachers, it has much better efficiency to communicate with those kids who have autism and learning disorders via iPad, cos it's easier to express themselves through visual image than communicate face to face. Advocates believe that, iPad e-learning is an interactive way, which more suitable for today's students, because for them, the electronic device is part of their life, not mention mobile phones or something, every high school kids want iPad, and now school provide this hot thing to them, why wouldn't them want it? So, get students' support is an easy issue. Also there is always different voice, some scholar says even students has the most modern equipment, they still needs a scientific curriculum development and experienced teachers. As the saying goes, music is not piano; similarly, learning is not the device.

And more, there is something else that iPad can do, such as chatting, playing games, listening to music or watch videos, so who can guarantee that students are studying with iPad not playing something else, now that school is the one who provides iPad to students, there is no doubt that it should make some strategy to make sure students use iPad in a right way, to educate their teachers in addition to their students so that the tablets could be fully utilized, to make the tablets into something more than just a technological toy, which meant blocking YouTube and helping students to focus, rather than letting them talk about the best dvd to ipad software to enjoy free videos with ipad or mac video to ipad or something else.

The whole world has been changed with the development of technology, you keep up with it or you will be weeded out. As to Apple, its contribution to us is tremendous, not just school has taken it as teaching device, and the army or airline or companies, they all have or be ready to import technical products like iPad. So don't be spoffish.

1:36 AM - The Amazing Spider-Man

Spider-Man's prequel which has been called "the new Spider-Man" now finally has named to The Amazing Spider-Man. Amazing Spider-Man is first one that been released to meet audience and also has the longest duration in the whole comic series. In 1962, Stan Lee created the Spider-Man, at that time, Spider-Man was a character in the comic "Amazing Fantasy", because this character, this comic became popular, and it has been renamed as the "Amazing Spider-Man". Those TV shows that based on this character all called amazing spider-man before. It seems like this time Marvel, Sony and Columbia Pictures are ready to show us a more authentic Spider-Man. This time, Spider-Man will return to high school, and of course, movie will be released in 3D. "The new Spider-Man" is expected to release in July 3, 2012. Amazing Spider-Man is directed by Marc Webb who directed Days of Summer and the new Spider-Man will be played by Andrew Garfield who has impressive performance in "The Social Network".

So you already know Marc Webb is the director of Days of Summer, but do you know that movie is the only one that has a little influence in the screen among his movie, or do you know that movie is a literary film that about love and heartbroken feeling, or do you know the investment of Amazing Spider-Man is 20 times than Days of Summer, so it's not strange that if someone will worry Marc Webb will film a hero to some literary sensitive high school boy, and the whole story will be a love story with monsters. Not long before, Tobey Maguire talked about his expectations to Spider-Man 4, and said he would give more develop space to this role. But it turns out that he quit continuing to play spider-man, and his spokesman hadn't responded much.

As to Andrew Garfield, if you have watched The Social Network, then you must be familiar to him, he played the best friend of Jesse Eisenberg in that movie, and he is 28 this year, so let's see how he play a high school student, that's the main reason that Tobey can't play Spider-Man anymore.

Matt Tolmach, the president of Columbia Pictures said, over the past decade, it was a very exciting thing to co-operate with such good actor and director like Sam Raimi and Tobey Maguire. This time we use a brand-new team to film Spider-Man 4 is bittersweet, after all it's hard to imagine that who can play Peter (Spider-Man) except Toby, but for us, this is a new start. Previous Spider-Man series have made over $ 1.1 billion, undoubtedly, it's the most important money maker of Sony. If the new version of the film can get support from their fans is still unknown, more detailed information will be released in stages in the near future. Let's just wait for 2012 - the Amazing Spider-Man. Even if you are not too addicted to that kind of movie, but when you are on the bus or closestool, watching it on iPad is sort of entertainment, just need to figure out how to convert dvd to ipad with a dvd to ipad ripper, then you can criticize these Hollywood pattern movies to the top of your bent.

3:54 AM - Windows 8 Tablet - Another Competitor of iPad

Lots of analysts think until the end of 2012, Apple will continue to dominate the Tablet market. In addition to iPad, there is no other Tablet in nowadays mobile market that have high market share. We are still waiting for the emergence of competitors, but the truth is not optimistic after what happened to TouchPad. So it seems like we have to wait until the second half of 2012 when Windows 8 be released officially, see what it gonna to be. But one thing you should pay attention to, the Amazon, with brands, content and sale advantages, Amazon may consolidate non-Apple Tablet market, but who knows, it not gonna take long that we will know its fate. So here Windows 8 is the hot point right now.

The first Windows8 tablet looks set to be revealed with the help of Samsung at Microsoft's BUILD developers' conference next week. And if we had to guess, it'll likely be announced during the morning keynote from Anaheim, California. A few weeks ago, you'll recall, Microsoft was already talking about a quad core Windows Slate that will be given out at an upcoming Microsoft event. Hell, it even flashed a thin reference design to the crowd in a moment of dramatic titillation. Mind you, we're almost certainly talking about a quad-core ARM processor inside - not Intel - given the lack of ULV quad-core silicon from Chipzilla and the fact that NVIDIA is talking up its Windows 8 compatibility so gregariously on the eve of its Kal-El launch. And now, thanks to an industry source speaking to the Korea Economic Daily, we know that Samsung is very likely the manufacturer behind this first Windows 8 tablet. In fact, you might want to attend BUILD yourselves, where we expect Microsoft to hand out the Samsung tablet to every registered developer in cahoots with its plan to build a "no compromise" tablet running a full desktop OS.

In any case, Windows 8 system is the key that related to the success of Microsoft's Tablet. Therefore, we all can't wait to know who will bear the brunt of running Windows 8. At earlier time Samsung has announced that Samsung Series 7 Slate PC could upgrade to Windows 8. And now the interesting thing is, we've independently heard that Samsung would be making the BUILD tablet, so we're feeling good about that one. We've also heard that it would be designed by Microsoft, which suggests that Redmond is keen on controlling the entire hardware-software message for Windows 8′s tablet push - not surprising, considering how important the tablet market has become in the past year.

The practice of using Windows 8 system has great significance to Samsung, make the system of Tablet diversified, rather than simply rely on the Android system, which means users can also have more choices.

And according to someone, Samsung will show the Tablet that carrying Windows 8 system in the BUILD Microsoft Developers Conference that be held next week in California. This will be the first Tablet that equipped with Windows 8 showed to public. Although this news will excite us, but it's obviously that there is one more year until Window 8 will be launched, so Apple will continue to dominate the Tablet market at least for one year, so iPad is still our first choice, such being the case, if you have iPad right now or ready to join us, there is something latent capacity you need to know and dig, like ipad to computer transfer and how to convert videos for ipad.

4:06 AM - The Sluggish sales of PlayBook

I have talked about those competitors who against Apple enough, I mean HP, Samsung, Sony, Amazon, Mcrosoft, they all have released TouchPad or will release or will do something that related to TouchPad, even Lenovo, ok, Lenovo's TouchPad can not even be called "a competitor of Apple", so we can ignore it. Just a ring bell, do you remember PlayBook? How can you just forget it? It belongs to RIM anyhow. Don't get me wrong, I'm not defending for it, I just want to get your attention, and plus, I'm always on Apple's side. Anyway, let's see what happens to PlayBook recently.

Research in Motion (RIM), depending on its new PlayBook to bolster sales as demand for its BlackBerry phones withers, may have shipped just one of the tablet computers last quarter for every 19 iPads from Apple. The company, probably sold about 4,90,000 PlayBooks during the first full quarter of sales, according to a Bloomberg survey of analysts, compared with the 9.25 million iPads shipped last quarter. Analysts cut estimates for full-year PlayBook shipments, to an average of 2.2 million, according to the survey. "RIM overplayed the PlayBook in terms of its sales and prospects," said Charlie Wolf, an analyst at Needham & Co in New York.

"What this really shows is that the company's prospects will depend on the next generation of BlackBerrys." When RIM first disclosed plans for a tablet last year, analysts said the device had the potential to evolve into a significant new product category. Yet RIM didn't get the 7-inch tablet to market until April, a year after the first iPad and behind rivals such as Samsung Electronics. Even then, RIM drew criticism for introducing the PlayBook without dedicated e-mail or instant messaging and a shortage of consumer applications like Netflix movies. The company will ship about 1.5 million tablets this year, compared with 39.2 million for Apple and 7 million for Samsung, RIM hasn't given up on the Play-Book, but it's clearly off to a poor start. And we all know that Apple will release iPad3 soon, what iPad3 can do is unknown by now, but at least we know that we can enjoy all kinds of video via  copy dvd to ipad and sync itouch videos to ipad, no doubt that iPad3 will be more powerful, and it will be more convenient, at that time, the other Tablet will face a serious situation.

Someone says the PlayBook is perhaps the most useless thing to ever be released and yet it continues on with promises from the company that they'll fix it. That's not a product strategy. Even compared to TouchPad, it can't get any advantage, don't get me wrong, I'm not saying the TouchPad was perfect, apparently it wasn't. However, it had the best chance to take second place to the iPad. More importantly, it had webOS, which many people thought was probably the best alternative to iOS. And now, see what happens. TouchPad has gone, PlayBook has sluggish sales, and now RIM just counts on its BlackBerry to make up its loss and dignity. RIM started selling phones that run on the BlackBerry 7 operating system in the US this month and in Europe last month. The company plans to shift to a new operating system, QNX.

So what am I saying? iPad VS PlayBook sales: It's 19:1, I'm trying not to be too exaggerated, but it's the truth, right? Apple is marvelous, and apparently we will chase after it for a long time, so let's just forget about PlayBook.

3:19 AM - Students Who Take Advantage of iPad have Better Performance

We all know that iPad has permeated the college or high school in America. Apple will donate a bunch of iPad2 to schools now and then, lots of schools have replaced traditional textbooks with iPad, and I bet students are the happiest beneficiaries, because everyone wants iPad, and as students, they don't have to pay for it, they can use it for free. No matter electronic textbooks or related materials or online resource, they all can be obtained in iPad. Since Apple iPad has launched iPad in the spring of 2010, this Tablet was welcomed by many universities in American in a short time, and from this autumn, more public schools have joined this queue, abandoning the traditional teaching, utilizing light and powerful iPad.

And recently, Apple co-operates with the Teach for America program, donating 9000 unit first generation iPad to teachers who worked in poor and dangerous schools. These iPads were recovered from consumers, and this program is a public project that announced by Apple when they released iPad 2. According to CNN reports, this 9000 unit iPads distributed in 38 states, Of course, for those low-income schools, only teachers have a iPad can't solve the problem, but this is a start anyhow, how exactly Apple and Teach for America program engage with each other? That is because Steve Jobs' wife is the board member of the project.

So how is everything going in school where iPad has replaced traditional textbooks? News stories are popping up everywhere with the details on schools that have adopted the use of iPads in varying capacities in the classroom. An ongoing study conducted by Abilene Christian University is the latest to try to quantify the benefits of using these tablets to support their educational efforts.

Rounding the third year since their research began, the university has graduated to testing iPads from having previously used iPhone and iPod Touch devices to review the impact of digital mobility on education. The results of their research appear to be overwhelmingly positive. Students who took advantage of iPads to annotate their notes ended up scoring 25% higher on questions regarding information transfer than those who hadn't. Grad students that used the devices were noted as being 95% satisfied with their online coursework. The feeling among those using it seems to be that the iPad gave students the opportunity to have what they referred to as 'learning moments', by making better use of their time. But we all know there is something else that iPad can do, such as chatting, playing games, listening to music or watch videos, so who can guarantee that students are studying with iPad not playing something else, now that school is the one who provides iPad to students, there is no doubt that it should make some strategy to make sure students use iPad in a right way, make sure the tablets could be fully utilized, to make the tablets into something more than just a technological toy, which meant blocking YouTube and helping students to focus, rather than letting them talk about the ipad converter suite to enjoy free videos with ipad or how to convert dvd to ipad on mac or something else.

If we can avoid those adverse influences, then iPad can have a more significant meaning. The more good things iPad do for students, more teachers and students can become beneficiaries. And this is just the beginning. When we think about using tablets to supplement our educational experiences, I think most people jump to the idea of digital versions of textbooks. While I think that certainly is one of the first applications, more educational resources will be made available for iPads and other tablet devices as time goes on. Consider being able to supplement lessons with digital video, review breaking news stories as they unfold, access studying aids like flashcards or supplemental quizzes. The opportunities really are endless in this realm.

And recently, Apple co-operates with the Teach for America program, donating 9000 unit first generation iPad to teachers who worked in poor and dangerous schools. These iPads were recovered from consumers, and this program is a public project that announced by Apple when they released iPad 2. According to CNN reports, this 9000 unit iPads distributed in 38 states, Of course, for those low-income schools, only teachers have a iPad can't solve the problem, but this is a start anyhow, how exactly Apple and Teach for America program engage with each other? That is because Steve Jobs' wife is the board member of the project.

So how is everything going in school where iPad has replaced traditional textbooks? News stories are popping up everywhere with the details on schools that have adopted the use of iPads in varying capacities in the classroom. An ongoing study conducted by Abilene Christian University is the latest to try to quantify the benefits of using these tablets to support their educational efforts.

Rounding the third year since their research began, the university has graduated to testing iPads from having previously used iPhone and iPod Touch devices to review the impact of digital mobility on education. The results of their research appear to be overwhelmingly positive. Students who took advantage of iPads to annotate their notes ended up scoring 25% higher on questions regarding information transfer than those who hadn't. Grad students that used the devices were noted as being 95% satisfied with their online coursework. The feeling among those using it seems to be that the iPad gave students the opportunity to have what they referred to as 'learning moments', by making better use of their time. But we all know there is something else that iPad can do, such as chatting, playing games, listening to music or watch videos, so who can guarantee that students are studying with iPad not playing something else, now that school is the one who provides iPad to students, there is no doubt that it should make some strategy to make sure students use iPad in a right way, make sure the tablets could be fully utilized, to make the tablets into something more than just a technological toy, which meant blocking YouTube and helping students to focus, rather than letting them talk about the ipad converter suite to enjoy free videos with ipad or how to convert dvd to ipad on mac or something else.

If we can avoid those adverse influences, then iPad can have a more significant meaning. The more good things iPad do for students, more teachers and students can become beneficiaries. And this is just the beginning. When we think about using tablets to supplement our educational experiences, I think most people jump to the idea of digital versions of textbooks. While I think that certainly is one of the first applications, more educational resources will be made available for iPads and other tablet devices as time goes on. Consider being able to supplement lessons with digital video, review breaking news stories as they unfold, access studying aids like flashcards or supplemental quizzes. The opportunities really are endless in this realm.

5:09 AM - Amazon Will Launch Its Tablet Kindle Fire Soon

It is said that Amazon will launch the long-awaited Android tablet on Wednesday. It is expected to become the biggest competitor of Apple iPad. TechCrunch reports that the tablet will be named "Kindle Fire". According to rumors, Kindle Fire looks like improved BlackBerry PlayBook. The Tablet will run Android software. However, Amazon will use their skin to provide a unique experience and make it different with other Android Tablet. It said Amazon will release it on Wednesday, but until Christmas shopping season in Nov, we can see it in the market, so many people think that Amazon launches its Kindle Fire before the Christmas shopping season on purpose to grab the limelight of iPhone5.

Because of the great temptation in Tablet market, Amazon, the largest Internet retailer in the world is coveted to pick up a little benefit from it too. Now Kindle Fire is about to release, however, some experts point out that with consumers becoming more rational, Tablet's boom is rapidly waning. They said the Tablet that is lack of useful features is not good enough compared to a smart phone, we can see that from other Tablets, whether Samsung or Motorola, or Acer, they all didn't get any benefits from Tablet market which is dominated by Apple iPad. Followed by these companies, the BlackBerry maker RIM has joined the ranks too, but the company's PlayBook Tablet only sold 20 hundred thousand units in three months. And HP TouchPad Tablet, which lunched this year was forced to give up because of poor achievement.

Some analysts believe that, because the Kindle has popularity in the market, moreover Amazon also provides movies and music service, so the company's Tablet is likely to pose a threat to Apple. But Apple iPad has been the lone cruiser among the tablet computers, we all know its gorgeous appearance and powerful functions, when we import videos to ipad with high definition on that big screen, it feels so good, even though most videos can be played on iPad if we don't use ipad video converter, but it's worth for us to have a visual feast. Although criticized for various technological deficits, most notably the lack of flash support and true multi-tasking, Apple's iPad has set the standard for others to follow.

Amazon is expected to price its new tablet lower than Apple's iPad, particularly in light of the TouchPad's success during the $99 fire sale after HP discontinued the product. Amazon isn't likely to dip that low in pricing, but the company could dip below the $300 price point and find success, some analysts say.

Before the time that we don't sure when Amazon will release its Tablet, many reports about this product have made other manufacturers feel threatened. Digital products search engine Retrevo said in July, there are 55% Tablet PC buyers are willing to buy Amazon Tablet PC, higher than the nearest competitor. Now we will see it tomorrow, and we'll know its price and everything. Just a few days ago, iPad2 launched in China, but it gets a depressed reaction, everyone shocked, seems like iPad2 craze is fading.

5:27 AM - Kindle Fire Is Not the Competitor of iPad

You may already know that Kindle Fire is priced $199, which is pretty low, and for sure, it's the only advantage compared to iPad, while in other aspects, it can't compete with iPad at all. Even though the rumor like "iPad killers" has spread for a long time, and many analysts and consumers have high expectations on it.

But until now, I guess many of us feel a little disappointed in the Kindle Fire product announcement, I mean for months now, this secret tablet was being championed as the "first real competitor for the iPad." Well, I guess it can be considered a competitor if you base that information solely on its outrageously low price, hello, $199, of course it has more advantages than iPad, which we all know that some of us even can't afford it. So in my opinion, just like Amazon's e-reader, the Kindle Fire is not even in the same category as the iPad. Apparently, I am not the only one who thinks so. It has become clear that consumers in general would rather buy an iPad than any other tablet, no matter what kind of hardware it has, no matter how open sourced its software is. At first time, the price of TouchPad is lower than iPad, but just after a few months, TouchPad was dead, sorry for HP. Now Amazon takes a big risk to produce its tablet, what they need is to do not let itself disappear in a very short time just like TouchPad.

According to Sodahead, the web's largest opinion-based social community, a recent poll revealed that 61 percent of consumers believe that the iPad will maintain its lead over all other tablets on the market and only 39 percent believe the Kindle Fire will rise to the top and become the number one tablet, obviously, iPad has more approval rate. The truth is iPad has been the lone cruiser among the tablet computers, we all know its gorgeous appearance and powerful functions, even it has some flaws, like if we want to watch other format videos on ipad, we have to know how to view videos on ipad, and like DIVX,M2TS,VOB etc, these videos only can be played via ipad video converter, but iPad is still our first choice. Although criticized for various technological deficits, most notably the lack of flash support and true multi-tasking, Apple's iPad has set the standard for others to follow.

Sure, the Kindle Fire is significantly less expensive than the iPad, but it is also half the machine. Right now at Apple.com, you can get a refurbished iPad (first generation) for $399. This specific iPad model has twice the memory, a larger screen and ten times as many apps for exactly twice the price. The Kindle Fire doesn't have a camera or a microphone, has less battery life and is subject to Amazon's policy of handing out your personal browsing information without your express permission. There is no 3G capability and no larger memory capability. Sodahead's poll just confirmed my personal opinion that Amazon's big unveiling was for a reduced version of an amazing tablet. There is no competition here. So is that obvious which one will be chosen by consumers? "iPad killer" will never show up, even the founder of Apple has left us,but we will never forget him,forever.

3:58 AM - Cook Said Apple Can Not Be Imitated

According to media reports, Cook, the new CEO of Apple said, no matter who wants to imitate apple, they can't success. Apple is everywhere, he said so in the "Let's Talk iPhone" conference that held in Apple headquarters in California, he claimed that iPad is the incontrovertible number one Tablet, for now, everyone wants to imitate it, but all failed or haven't get the great influence as iPad do, like HP, RIM, Samsung, Amazon or the coming Window8.

A few months ago, HP TouchPad officially listed in the U.S., as the number one in PC industry, non-Apple camp had high expectations on the TouchPad, hoping it can shake the monopoly of iPad. TouchPad16GB priced $ 499.99 in the U.S. and 32GB priced $ 599.99. However, the response was not satisfactory, and HP had poor sales. Less than a month, TouchPad announced lower $ 100. But even so, it did not attract consumers' desire to buy it. August 19th, the TouchPad 16GB priced $ 99 and 32GB down to $ 149, this fire-sale, and finally led to frenzied purchase craze, all the stock in varieties of markets were sold out in a very very short time, some retailer's Web site almost crashed due to high demand. Only in (Best Buy), there was 25 million to 27 million new stock, almost all sold out in less than a week, I bet even Apple don't have this unbelievable achievement, huh huh.

And you may remember those clashes between Samsung and Apple. After defeated by Apple in Netherlands about the patent, Samsung once again announced they wouldn't sell Galaxy Tab 10.1 in Australia before September 30. Even Samsung promised they would send the samples to Apple before launching it, and then did as promised, but Apple's lawyers insisted Galaxy Tab 10.1 infringed their patent. The day before yesterday, Apple announced that it has rejected the suggest that offered by Samsung about solving the Tablet disputes peacefully, so we all can see who is the boss.

Because of the great temptation in Tablet market, Amazon, the largest Internet retailer in the world was coveted to pick up a little benefit from it too. But if something only sold $199, what qualification does it have to be called a competitor of something sold $499, but the low price is still an advantage anyway. According to Amazon's latest sales data, since Kindle Fire was released from Sep.28, the pre-sale orders have exceeded more than 250,000 units in the first five days. The market research firm eDataSource said, the order in the first day is 9.50,000 units. But, the first generation of iPad has 300,000 orders in its first day, and iPad2 keep this unbelievable myth, people love it, even even it has some flaws, we only can watch other format videos(except MP4) with the help of ipad converter suite or ipad video converter, but iPad is still our first choice, look the huge difference of those data, we know who is the boss.

According to BCG, compared to iPad, people are more looking forward to Windows Tablet, maybe it just because most people are very familiar to Windows Cooperation System, but lacking of the practical concepts about Windows Tablet, so when it finally show itself to people, the enthusiasm will disappear, and iPad will be continue to dominate the Tablet market.

4:18 AM - Are You Considering to Buy Sony Tablet S

After lots of rumors about Sony Tablet S, finally, it is launched. Compared to Amazon Kindle Fire's low price, it has a better market value, which means it's not that cheap, almost expensive as iPad, so I guess many people have faced a hard choice, which one should I have, Tablet S or iPad2? Well then, let's see the special characteristics of Sony Tablet.

Some said if a tablet's appearance doesn't like iPad, then it's not a Tablet, that's funny, whoever said that, he must be a crazy iPad fan. But there is always someone dare to make changes, yes, I am talking about Sony, shaped like a folded over magazine, Sony's Tablet S is maybe the weirdest looking tablet we've ever seen, but we have to admit that it's the most comfortable tablet we've ever seen. While it looks like the work of a crazy person, the design is deliberate. Sony thinks the wedge-shaped build will make the Tablet S more comfortable to hold in one hand, as well as making it sit more naturally on flat surfaces.

Compared to iPad2, Sony S is very thin and light, even equipped with two 5.5-inch touch screen, overall weight is till 0.82 pounds (367g), just has half weight of Sony Tablet S (S1) and iPad2. Alternatively they can operate independently, for example, playing video or games on one while showing control buttons or a keyboard on the other. Like other tablets it can surf the web, check email, download music and videos. More significantly, it can also be used in line with Sony's PlayStation gaming technology and its popular eReader digital book downloads, but just like iPad, we still need to have the aid of blu-ray ripper to watch blu ray videos on Sony Tablet, so that's a similarity between Sony and iPad anyway, huh, just kidding. Besides, Howard Stringer, Sony CEO said that Sony P can provide music and movies via built-in "entertainment library", which is a big advantage compared to other competitors. He said: "Apple made iPad, but it can make the film? We want to prove that it's not who makes it first that counts, but who makes it better," he said at the IFA conference.

Holding the Tablet S, you will impressed by how light it felt. At 598g for the Wi-Fi version, it's ever so slightly less heavy than the Wi-Fi iPad 2, which tips the scales at 601g. We suspect you could lug this tablet around all day, and not have to worry unduly about your bones collapsing under the strain. And look between the black bars of the bezel and you'll be greeted with a 1,280 x 800 display that Sony says uses the company's TruBlack technology - already a staple in its Bravia televisions, so imagine how wonderful it will be to rip blu-ray to mp4 and enjoy the HD movies on this high quality display.

It seems like after being launching into the market, this Tablet has a nice respond, but to us consumers who have experienced HP's $99 Tablet and Amazon's low price Kindle Fire, is really that easy for Tablet S to attract us? I'm not sure, but once it comes down in price, that's another thing, huh huh.

5:52 AM - More TV Shows Are Free on iPad Now

We can watch more free TV shows on our iPad now, don't you think? Compared to buy movies or videos on iPad, we prefer to enjoy free things, right? So as we wish, more applications are released on iPad or iPhone, and they are free.

Following NBC's footsteps, Turner Broadcasting System just released the TNT iPad app, which gives you complete access to full-length television shows and movies aired by the network. The new app provides you with a lineup of TNT Dramas that you can access wherever and whenever you want. Appreciate that, but the truth is we can't watch programs of every channel, after all, just NBC and TNT have do something, so if we want to watch all dramas or movies on iPad for free, we have to figure out another way, just like another production of Apple, Mac, if we want to watch dvd or blu-ray videos on Mac, we have to do that with the help of dvd copy mac, anyway,that's another thing. So let's just hope that more channels can sacrifice their show to iPad, and now TNT's iPad app gives you complete access to behind-the-scenes videos, program guides and also schedule reminders. It also integrates with GetGlue, Facebook and Twitter allowing you to share with friends all kinds of updates. As an authorized user, you can watch clips and full episodes of The Closer, Falling Skies, Rizzoli & Isles and more. But the key word here is "authorized user". That's right, in order to use this app you must have a subscription with a TV provider to get full access to video content. Perhaps one day, all content owners will start providing online access to their video libraries without requiring a paid TV subscription.

And Bloomberg announced Thursday that its 24-hour live global business and financial news broadcast would be made available for free to all iPad users, via the new Bloomberg TV+ app. The free-for-everyone strategy sets Bloomberg apart from competitors like CNN and ESPN, who only allow select subscribers to watch live feeds. The app allows viewers to watch in both landscape and portrait mode. An interactive, customizable scrolling ticker displays stock information and news relevant to what's currently playing. While live television plays 24-hours a day, the app also allows users to check out featured videos of the biggest business stories and important videos from the last 24 hours. Videos can be downloaded for offline viewing, and the app also provides extra content on people, companies, and topics while watching. Bloomberg TV+ features Bloomberg's full library of on-demand shows, including Bloomberg West, Charlie Rose, Tech Stars, Innovators, and more.

Like I said, it's more convenient for us to enjoy TV shows on iPad as more apps being released, also, we can copy dvd movie to our mobile devices, iPad, iPhone etc, so we can do more things with our iDevices as time goes.

5:45 AM - Tim Cook Said He Doesnâ??t Worry About Kindle Fire

You may think that Apple feels upset and threatened about Kindle Fire, but no, completely opposite, analyst Ben Reitzes of Barclays spoke to Apple CEO Tim Cook and CFO Peter Oppenheimer regarding the Kindle Fire, they seem be the last one who will worry about Amazon's tablet.


While the low-low price of Amazon's new tablet, the Kindle Fire, is mistaken being called a viable competitor for the iPad, Apple is perfectly happy with the gadget's introduction into the tablet market because it just adds another level of fragmentation to the Android platform. Kindle Fire that just priced 199 dollar looks very competitive, and most people think it will become the new iPad competitor. However, due to the use of the Amazon Kindle Fire is another system that will further divide the flat panel market. Kindle Fire applications compatible with Android system can either product is compatible with Amazon. The more fragmentation, the better, says Apple, since that could drive more consumers to the stable Apple platform, another product of Apple platform - Mac also has invincible status in the market, this point can be proved by the popularity of Apple's derived products like mac dvd burner.

The Fire has a different look than other Android-based tablets, which may cause them to look strange, and this device may even fuel a whole new category of custom built Kindle Fire apps, further fragmenting the operating system market. While Amazon has made a smart move by offering their tablet at an impossibly low price of $199, the Kindle Fire is also half the device that the iPad is. By undercutting their competitors, Amazon will gain momentum in the category of market share, but it is less likely to sustain longevity once people realize that the Kindle Fire is more like a toy than a piece of technology.


Ben Reitzes believes that Apple will lower the price of iPad in the future, but they will not at the expense of product quality and user experience and as a means to compete. The angle of Apple and Amazon to enter the flat market is completely different. Apple iPad have earned lots of money, but the price of their content and services is relatively low, to maintain the balance of payments. Instead, Amazon is selling low-priced Kindle Fire, and then attracts customers to buy their content, entre their products ecosystem. iPad also have many other applications, like

dvd copy mac

, it's a gadget that can help iPad users enjoy videos on iPad, which certainly is helpful to iPad's sales.



If you just on the sideline about iPad, then you may be tempted by Kindle Fire, after all, it is so cheap. And now it's said that Amazon will introduce its Kindle Smartphone, it is just a matter of time, they said if Amazon want to be Apple or beat Apple, then they have to create something that can compete with iPhone, seems like Amazon just won't stop to chase Apple.

4:52 AM - Which One do You Want for Christmas Gift, iPad or Kindle Fire

What's your most wanted gift for Christmas? iPod? iPhone? iPad or Kindle Fire? Maybe it's not necessary to compare iPod with iPhone or iPad, after all, they are family, so let's see the how it's going between iPad and Kindle Fire.

Black Friday and Christmas season are about to ensue, at this spree, the sales of award-winning Amazon Kindle Fire can overshadowed Apple iPad? According to the survey, more than 2,000 respondents, 51% said more like Kindle Fire between two. These data is very interesting, because the amount of respective is the same, but when then actually go to the shop and buy what they want, iPad has a distinct advantage. The survey found that in answer to "Holiday is most likely to buy Tablets products," when 62% of people voted for the iPad, Kindle choose who accounted for 38%. Of course, the real sales data, but also to the season ends, we will get from Apple and Amazon. However, an obvious phenomenon is that a certain number of people, they like this, but buy another. However, no matter which one you decide to buy, here is a tip for you to use your Tablet as you wish, if you want to enjoy your files in iPad or Kindle Fire with another devices like PSP or Blackberry, you will need drm removal, because we all know the files in iTunes or Kindle all have drm protection.



Among the potential new users who are interested in buying the Tablet PC, about 65% of people said they intend to buy iPad, and iPad customer satisfaction is as high as 74%. ChangeWave Research recently published in November for U.S. consumers interested in buying the findings of the Tablet PC.

According to Nielsen's statistics, for users that between 6 years to 12, iPad is their most want holiday gift, and this is iPad the second consecutive year be the top in this list. About 61% of the iPad buyers are parents. Market growth will not only bring revenue Tablet PC manufacturers, but also increase the demand for child-related content. To Walt Disney and other industries on the giant, down to small innovative companies currently are developing games, interactive books and other applications to attract children. Once you having these files in your iPad or Kinle Fire, to take full advantage of them, you'd better have a free drm removal, so you can utilize these resources in your other devices.



So obviously, Apple is still completely dominating the Tablet market, even though the release of Amazon Kindle Fire is a direct challenge to Apple, but we can see the difference between them, according to the record, iPad continues its leading status to be the most popular gift for Christmas.

4:00 AM - Is Apple an Important Part in Your Life

Do you like to show off your mobile phone especially when you are an iPhone user? Do you take your iPod with you when you go out? Do you always see other people playing Angry Birds or Fruit Ninja on their iPads in subway? Well, you know what I mean, Apple devices have been a very important part in our lives.

The New iPad has been released for a few days, what's the situation right now in the whole world? Do you know how popular it is? The new iPad is already available in the US, Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Japan, Puerto Rico, Singapore, Switzerland, UK. Apple's retail stores and select Apple Authorised Raesellers, including Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Macau, Mexico, The Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain and Sweden.

Someone says there is no big difference between the new iPad and iPad 2, really? Here is an experiment to show that new iPad is better than iPad 2 in some ways. But there isn't necessary to buy a new iPad if you already have an iPad, and you should know how to sync ipad 2 to computer to protect your iDevice. To figure out the advantage of new iPad, I take "The New York Times" as the example to make a comparison. Images look about the same, though primary colors are richer on the new iPad. If you put a magnifying lens to the images, you'd notice the iPad 2 pics look a little pixilated compared to the same photos viewed on the Retina display. On the iPad 2, the color has a reddish tone; on the new iPad, it's more golden.

Then let's talk about iPod touch. It's much cheaper than iPad and iPhone, but it has the same functions with them, almost. People always would like to use it to listening to music, to play games, to chatting. Those apps that can run on iPhone or iPad, they also are available for iPod touch, that's the difference between iPod touch and other iPod products. And there are bunch of third-party tools serve for iPod touch, like ipod to computer transfer, which is very useful for users to keep the device safe.

What about iPhone? Apple's mobile device dominance is not overstated, but use of new technologies like video chat and LTE is - at least for now, according to the results of the first Mobile Life survey, published by UBM TechWeb's Light Reading. The popularity of Apple devices is not just in developed countries like America, also in developing countries. Mobile analytics company Flurry reports that activation of new iOS devices in China has surpassed the U.S. for the first time.

It's not exaggerated to say that Apple is gonna take over the e- market of the whole world. Ask anyone in any country, what is the most wanted portable device? The answer must start with letter "i".

5:42 AM - Top 3 Free DVD to New iPad Converter for Mac

Many people are Apple users nowadays, some of them are very extreme, like they will buy every new Apple device, new Mac, new iPad, iPod and iPhone, even they already have a bunch of old devices. So my point is we have to admit that Apple devices are indeed very popular worldwide, any of us may have at least one iDevice, but do you really know how to make the most of your iPad like watching DVD movies on it?

For many Apple users who also are movies fans, I believe that you certainly know how to watch your favorite movies on iPad, at least it is the first trick I want to figure out when I have a new iPad, but not everyone knows how to put movies on ipad, especially newbie, so here are top 5 DVD to iPad converter that can help us rip DVD movies to iPad.

1. Handbrake. It is not a strange tool for all of us, even you don't have Apple devices, you still may heard it before, what can I say, for many people, it's a very useful gadget, more importantly, it's totally free. But I know that lots of people are not satisfied with this freeware, too many bugs, the quality is not good enough, the video resolution is a little low and so on, but generally, if you are not very picky and don't want to cost much money, handbrake is a good choice.



2. iSkysoft. This is a pretty famous brand in technology industry and it has lots of products, including dvd to ipad converter, which can convert DVD to iPad video and audio on your Mac directly. The default presets are the optimized settings for iPad with best video quality and sound effect, making the most of your iPad's big screen and HD feature. It is perfectly compatible with Mac OS X Snow Leopard.

But there is one thing you need to know first that iSkysoft products are not free, still they have free trail version though, but if you want to enjoy the completed functions, there is money you need to pay for. So you may wonder why not to choose the free tools like handbrake, just like I said freeware always has drawbacks, but paid ones, they need to be responsible.

3. Videora. I just think most people prefer to freeware not paid ones, so it's much wiser to introduce freeware. Just like Handbrake, Videora is a free app too, but I really don't know which one is better, if you want to choose one from these two, you'd better try them yourself, than can be used on both Mac and Windows. This freeware works similar as the Handbrake to convert all types of video files to playback on iPad/iPad 2 and the new iPad.

Among all these DVD rippers, you may want to try one or two. With a good dvd ripper for mac, it won't be a problem any more to enjoy DVD movies on iPad,

3:26 AM - Whether the Involvement of Apple Has Reduced the eBooks Price or not

Just in earlier time, the DOJ accused Apple and a number of publishers of raising the price of e-books, but not everyone thinks that's the truth. According to the article from Wall Street, they think it's just because the efforts of Apple and publishers, the monopoly of Amazon has been broken.

Due to Apple's proxy mode, the competitive pressure from iPad and Barnes & Noble Nook has made the market share of Amazon fallen from 90% to 60% and price of eBooks also has more changes, which means consumers have more choice, ranging from $ 5.95 to $ 14.95, not just the Amazon standard-$ 9.99. The article also pointed out that Apple charges a 30% profit in games and other applications, , the same with the ratio of eBooks, newspapers and magazines, so it's hard to let people believe that Apple raised the price of eBooks. The competition between Apple Amazon is not anything strange, they all protect themselves with one hundred percent efforts, generally if you have purchased a book or a movie from any of them, you only can play it on other device with media drm removal, we all have been through this kind of thing.

Apple is so different from Amazon, because it offers the service for consumers to read eBooks only aims to attract more people to buy iPad, just like the apps to watch TV shows and read magazines and work. So not like Kindle, users can do many things on iPad, like watching DVD movies with best dvd creator review, Apple really counts on eBooks to make money? To honest, iPad is just a device to read eBooks, it has nothing to do with the price with eBooks, let me tell you this way, the games we play on iPad, is there anyone think the price is not reasonable? No? Now you know what I mean.

As long as you are an Apple user, you would know that Apple's platform is a multi-use platform, offering Internet browsing, word processing, music, apps, and other products, of which books probably accounted-and still account-for a relatively small percentage of revenue. We can download everything we want in iTunes, even sometimes we are bothered by DRM protection, which means we need mac drm removal software to break it, but Apple has many options for promoting adoption of its platform-not least, the "sex appeal" of Amazon's famously glam products, as to Amazon, it's not exaggerated to say that it competes largely on the basis of its content, and its devices sell only as long as the content is attractive and attractively priced.

Not just Wall Street thinks Apple has made a contribution to break eBooks' monopoly of Amazon, another article from Technology Liberation Front also says that Apple is fighting against the price standard of eBooks, but we can't be sure from its analysis that if the price really has been reduced, or Apple's "agency model" is really decided by the demands of consumers just like they said.

3:25 AM - The Share of iPad Is Increasing in SMBs

With no doubt, the status of Apple in big businesses is incomparable, let's see, iPad is always the first choice when those companies decide to utilize Tablet as office supply. But Apple wants more than this, so they continue to extend their occupancy in small-to-medium-sized businesses, and they succeed. According to iGR, more and more small businesses begin to use iPad run business.

When individual plans to buy a Tablet, he only considers the price and fashion, which means iPad could be the first choice, when companies are ready to buy Tablets to run business, they also consider two things, price and functions. If they don't want to buy the newest iPad, then the price is totally acceptable, as to functions, we not only can download free movies for iPad to watch them, but also do lots of works in business, so the vast majority of those interested in a tablet only want one -- the Apple iPad -- according to a new study by wireless and mobile market research consultancy iGR.



Apple has been trying to enlarge the influence in SMB, after all, that's also a big market, so Apple has to ensure that when those SMBs plan to buy Tablets, iPad will be the first product that comes to their minds. And I think the search result from iGR won't disappoint them. The survey, by iGR, shows that about a quarter (24%) of SMBs supply their employees with tablets as part of an official policy. While tablets are often positioned as augmenting laptops and PCs, 26% of the SMBs surveyed indicated their company would be buying fewer or far fewer laptops as a result of their tablet purchases, and iPad occupies a large share. Of course, 47% of respondents said they use their tablets for both business and personal reasons, personal reasons only can mean to have fun with iPad, like watching movies with dvd to ipad converter or playing games.

Then why do SMBs focus on Tablets more often? The most reported reason for purchasing additional tablets in 2012 was "substituting for laptops" (31.9%), followed by "workforce is increasing" (31%). 55% of SMBs managed and maintained tablet devices, so this is definitely good news for Apple. But the change is not easy to make, even iPad has been used in many industries, including schools, governments, airlines and so on, but to make it become the main tool in business needs more time, the majority of companies with plans to buy tablets indicated that their plans to purchase notebooks remained about the same. IT departments surveyed were likely to oversee the purchase, management, maintenance and support of desktop computers (90%), and laptops and netbooks (89%).

Even the situation is very tough for iPad to dominate small-to-medium-sized businesses, but the opportunity is still there, it's just Apple needs to try harder and uses the different marketing mode, like Lion Server, which is a very good method, if Apple can think more good ideas like this, I think iPad will be the first choice for SMBs too.

2:43 AM - Three Best New Games for iPad

With the Retina Display, new iPad is the best portable device to watch HD movies and play games, we can watch our favorite DVD movies on the big screen with mac dvd ripper for ipad, but mostly, I guess we prefer to play games on it when we are waiting for someone or when just feeling boring. So except for Angry Birds and Fruit Ninja, these two most-frequently played games, what are the other latest and most fantastic games we can play on iPad?

1. Virtua Tennis Challenge.

As fans of Tennis, I bet you all have played this game if you have Android devices. Yes, Sega has released this sport title masterpiece for Android a long time ago, now this game comes to iOS for the first time.

Seriously, if you love this sport, then Virtua Tennis Challenge is the best game for you to enjoy the fun to play tennis. In this game, you can imagine yourself to be anyone, Federer, Nadal and Djokovic, whoever you want to be. Slice, lob and hit your best top spin as you take on the world's best and compete against 50 players in 18 stadiums around the globe. Build concentration by making plays that match your player's style; unleashing a super shot that will make your opponent sweat. Sounds very exciting, right?



This game just arrives in App Store, and I just can't wait to play it.

2. Fieldrunners 2.

Fieldrunners was one of the most iOS games before, but since it hasn't any update for almost one year, so maybe some of you have forgotten it. However, the developer just announces that Fieldrunners 2 will launch on App Store in a month, first the iPhone edition, then iPad HD edition.

Even we have to wait for a month, but we can know how this sequel will be from the images that have been published by the developer. It expands on the gameplay of the first one with more, and more varied, maps, over 20 upgradeable towers, and more than 30 enemy types trying to ruin them.

Considering the popularity of Fieldrunners, I bet Fieldrunners 2 will excite many game players.

3. Infinity Blade II Update-Vault of Tears.

About this game, I guess you don't need more information from me. In the conference of new iPad, we already witnessed the wonders of this work.

So what does Chair will offer us in Vault of Tears this time? There are two features about this update I have to mention. First, this update is totally free. Second, it's more socialized, adding a treasure map that marks treasure locations. Also, ClashMob is being expanded to allow anyone to participate in fights via Twitter or Facebook - no game required.

For game players, you mustn't miss these games, of course, except playing games on iPad, we also can watch movie, only there is one tip for movies fans, which is most videos have DRM protection, and we may need media drm removal. No matter what you would like to do on your iPad, just enjoy the excellent feeling that it gives you.

2:53 AM - Five New Features iOS 6 Will Have, According to the Rumors

WWDC is coming in a week, however, according to the rumors, we won't see any iOS device in this conference, but what we won't miss is the information about iOS 6, Mountain Lion, iCloud and so on. iOS 6 will meet us until this fall, but there are many guesses about it, one of them is that many new features will be added to iOS 6.

The first one is MountainLionCenter, it is a Cydia tweak, which can allow users to freely control the notification center, In addition, it supports both portrait and landscape screen mode. Just like how Mac users open the notification center, users can tune out the interface via slipping the screen from right to left. In addition, if using MountainLionCerter, some icons in status bar may be hidden so developers add those icons to MountainLionCerter so that users can view them conveniently.

The second is Siri. Right, you may feel excited about this news, because generally, iPhone 4S is the only device that can use Siri right now. We can not only rip dvd to ipad to watch HD movies on the Retina Display, according to 9to5Mac, Siri will come to iPad with iOS 6. However, only new iPad can have it, so if you own a new iPad, you can talk to Siri at that time. It will come complete with music playback, iMessaging, calendar managing, reminders, weather, maps integration, emailing, notes, contacts searching, Safari integration, Worlfram-Alpha searching and more. The only thing missing from Siri for the iPad will be the phone-related commands.



The third one is iCloud Tabs. iCloud Tabs allows iCloud users to view the labels in Safari on multiple iOS and Mac devices. After clicking the iCloud Tabs on the iOS 6 device or Mac, the opened label on each device will be displayed in a synchronized list, so users can quickly select the label. iCloud Tabs on the iPhone and iPod touch was hidden in the Bookmark Toolbar.

Another one is Do Not Disturb. This feature lets users turn off the notifications and messages from notification center. Sources say that while the option is present directly in the Mountain Lion Notification Center, the Do Not Disturb toggle is stationed like the Airplane Mode button in settings.

Of course, the new features of iOS 6 are more than these. Mark Gurman over at 9to5Mac relays what trusted sources told him, that iOS 6 will also include Mail VIPs, which is a new feature Apple announced in OS X Mountain Lion that works in a manner similar to Gmail's Priority Inbox in that it automatically collects your important email messages.

We can do many things on iPad right now, like how to transfer photos from pc to ipad, and if these rumors about iOS 6 new features are true, it will be more convenient for us to make the most of iPad and other iOS devices, so about the authenticity of these information, we just wait for the WWDC in next week.
